tion will be for the peace, security and protection of all. Eugene Hale, of Maine, has declined a Cabinet appointment. Gov. Rice, of Massachusetts, is men tioned for Secretary of the Navy. The Democratic caucus, held in the ha'i of the House of Representatives this evening, adopted an address to the country, prepared by Represents tive Hurd, of Ohio, for the signatures of members of the party in the House and the Senate. This address will be iu the nature of a protest against the declaration that Hayes and Wheeler were duly elected, and will criticise the action of'the Elec toral Commission, and assert that the lights of Congress have been invaded ; that crime and fraud have received ju dicial sanction, and that Republican institution* have been imperilled. The caucus took no action on any other subject. It was of short duration and not very numerously attended. Nominations in the Senate : Culver C. SnifOn, of New York, and Joseph W. Wbaun, of Il iuois, to be paymas ters, with the rank of Major ; Majors Franklin E. Hunt and Henry Prince, Paymasters, to be Lietitenaut-Colonel and Deputy Paymaster-General. Gen. Johnston Spoken of as Secretary of War. Both Houses will continue in session ! until noon to-morrow. Nothing definite about the Annv bill as yet Tli is possible that Gen. J E. iviohnston may become Secretary of /War. I'he Army bill is still in conference. HIGH JINKS. HEWITT A\D HOAR AT LOGGER HEADS. The Solons at Washington in a Fer ment—What Some of Them Think of Each Other—An Angry Washing of Dirty Linen. [Baltimore Gazette Report.) MR. HEWITT’s SPEECH. Mr. Hewitt, with great vigor, again ‘returned to the charge which he had made on Saturday against the good fait- of Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, for acting and voiitig in the Electoral Commission at variance with his speech in the House, and said that that gen tleman, in his attempt to answer the charge on Saturday, had seized the mantle of Webster, an i tiied (revers ing the usual process) to eke out the fox's skin with the lion’s hide. But even the mantle of Webster was not broad enough to cover defection, mis representation and fraud. He cited the various propositions and votes in the Commission, showing that Mi. Hoar had uniformly voted against the admission of evidence to show fraud on the part of the Louisiana Return ing Board, and he asked whether that, quoting Hoar’s words, was “justice and righteousness.” He (Hoar) had voted in the Louisiana case that the Commission had no judiiial pbwer, and in the case of Ore gon he voted that the Commission had power to take evideuce that the seal of. the State was or was not the authentic seal, and as to whether Walts held a A mmission from the United States. Bu? where there was an allegation of fraud, then he had voted that there was no power to prevent that fraud. That gentleman had been, on all occa -sions, the great champion of justice and righteousness. His magnificent peroration in the Belknap impeach ment case would long be read by the American youth, and yet that same gentleman had voted not to receive evidence of fraud. In conclusion, he said : I ask my Democratic ftiends— deceived, defrauded, cheated as they have been—whether we should meet bad faith with bad faith. I answer that never ought the record of the Democratic party to be sullied by a single act that will make any man blush. I went on that committee against my will. I knew whatever I , did on that committee would be sub ject to misconstruction. But when I took my place there I ceased to be a partisan. I tried to become a patriot. I tried to perfect a measure of justice, conciliation and peace for the suffering people of this country. We perfected it; we brought it here. It has been approved by Congress and by the country, and now shall we stop in this career toward the solution of the greatest problem ever presented to a -frge people because we have been met with fraud and injustice on the other aide '? I say no. Let us give to the people of the country and of the world an example that, having-been cheated, we can still trust in the providence and justice of God. and in the determina tion ■ f the people to do justice iu the end. [Applause and commotion.) We -have still a free 1 all t-1 jx and a press, and we are stiii a free people, j an<4 no j.istificaiion for revolution, no ’ justification for civil war, can ever arise among a free people until they are deprived of the remedy of the bal lot-box. Mr. O’Brien, (Democrat) of Maryland i —How idng will you be free if Mr. Hayes goes in ? Mr. Heiritt—(not noticing the inter- j ruption) To that remedy I propose tu | resort, aud if that remedy be found in vain, although lam the humblest of Demoerats and the most feeble of citi-1 zens, I will be ready to take up my j arms and lead, if necessary, or rather serve, iu the crusade against injustice, oppression and tyranny. [While Mr. Hewitt was speaking be, was surrounded by a circie of members of both political parties, and the evi ■ denees of increasing excitement and j commotion were manifest in the circle j and all over the hall, and in the gal leries. as he finished.] Mr. Cate, (Dem.) of Wisconsin, made his way througn the circle, and ad dressing Mr. Hewitt in un -xcited BMnoer, nald: “X i but prot to the uc i o f the Cominiai; .. : l infant us, a g »** bettayal f Hit «• v fldence crj»os. diu it, a peiverai u f right aud jusii.'v.

Mr. Cate—l deny it, and I assert t it is the duty of Democrats to op pose it by every means iu their power, it would be cowardice to do otherwise i [Great excitement and confusion 1 Mr. Yeates (Bern.), of North Caro, i Una, forced his way through the circle, I and with flushed face and excited man tier, addressing himself to Cate and the • Democrats vvho were opposing acqui ! est; ence: “Those who denounce us 1 j 59 w as cowards, when the pinch came I I turned against us.” Ibe excitment had grown so intense j at this time, reviving recollections of i the scenes in the House imraedia'ely j before the rebellion, that the Speaker i«dt called upon to interpose and to in- I slot upon the testoration of order. When he had succeeded the debate went on more quietly. H )AR REPLIES TO HEWITT, Mr. Hoar (rep.) of Massachusetts, who was not in the hail when Mr. Hewitt made his speech, but who had had the notes of it read to him by the j official reporter, replied to it as a pos ; thumous speech, prepared during the j Sabbath. He asserted that Mr. Hewitt bao had the fullest means of knowledge j by three days’ companionship with him |on the E.ectoral committee that the i right to go into the ascertainment o{ the facts as to who had been lawfully < * cted was utterly denied. It' that gen tlemtu were a gentleman with ordinary . intelligence, it was utterly incredible I that he “should have understood the ; matter as he now professed to under [stand it. This leader of a great ! parry, entrusted with its interests ! and its leadership, what did he | now say ? That, iu opposition to even puniio utterance and assurance that came fjyom the Republbatt si it I he had .gale into the matter, be • cause had got the assur ance of some scoundrel unit it would come out all righu He (Mr. Hoar) wanted no other evideuce of the utt. r delusion and folly that had prompted the charge against him than that g,-u tleman (Mr. Hewitt) had him-sets fur ; nisited. _ Prophecy was nor oue of the | txact s ieuees, but he (Mr. Huai) would ! venture the prophecy that there would j not be an event in the history < f the country which would be in the future more gratifying to the American peo ple than the constitutional assertion of the limit between State and National author! y which the Electoral Commis sion hud made. If the Democratic par ty. under the excitement of to-day, in flamed with the eager passion for pow er, disapproved and condemned it, he would “appeal from Philip drunk to Philip sober.” He would appeal from the party maddened, excited, drunk iu the present, to its future and to its past [Applause on the Republican side.] GEORGIA NEWS.

Pioctor Knott, of Kentucky, offered iu the House of Representatives the following amendment to a pending resolution, which, if adopted, would iu all proba bility have defeated the count: “Resolved, That this House requires that the package tendered by the mem ber from New York (Hewitt) to the President of the Senate, in the presence of the two Houses yesterday, aud pur porting to be a certificate of the electo ral Vo us for President and Vice-Presi dent from the State of Vermont, shall beopeued by the President of the Sen ate in the presence of the two Houses, and if found to be said certificate, the suue shall be submitted, together with the certificate read in the presence of the two Houses, to the Electoral Com mission lor its judgment and decision ; and that the Senate be requested to make a like otd-r requiring rite Presi dent of the Senate to open such pack age in the presence of the two Houses, aud that until such order be made the House will not be ready to meet the Senate aud proceed with the count of the electoral vote.” As the vote progressed on the reso lution, and as there was an apparent prospect of its having u majority iu t s favor, the most intense exoitemeut | re* vailed throughout the nail. At the ciose of the roll call, a rumor prevailed ,hat the resolution was cat tied, but as member after uieu. t.er who had been out when uni: names were ca led, or who had with held their votes, rose and In response to the second call responded “No,” me vote wts announced as yeas 115, noes 148.

World ; I Although you will know all about the opeuing of Parliament before this let ter reaches you, it is very uulikely that anything will have happened to clear away the confusion which at. present surrouuds both political parties. Sel dom has a session opened amid so much doubt and misgiving on either ! - s Me. Matty members of the oppost- I tiou are, of course, eager to attack the Ministry-but upon what ground? j The answer seems simple-the | Eastern question. I do not mysil j believe that there is so much to he made on* of that as many people try |to persuade themselves, i think you j "’fil fl ,J d that the public generally hiv not dissatisfied with tue acts of the Government, although they may not approve of the words of some tnetn* bets of it. After alt, wbut was there | Tor England to do? Canon Liddon and bis clique says that she ought to have j- 'hie . with Russia in expelling the Turks from Europe. Hut I have not myself come across anybody who holds that opinion, or who,scene | to think it at alldtsiral h> that England ! should pltiugo iuto an uiuu oosscry and j sentimental war. A Ministry wit ch l had allowed tit,, country to drift into wm, would have been swept away in n st, ttu of popular passion. A cation may have groat resources ieit within it, but it is scarcely fitted to enter into a life and de. Ui struggle with «foreign power at the moment when as trade is slm st paralysed And that is the condition of England at this moment. In all the huge man ufacturing centres of the country wo In at of nothing but depression and the disappearance of business—mills work* mg on halt time only or altegethet closed, factories shut up, huge estab lishments which are not. r> wiving now as many or,lets in a year as they used tu receive iu a single month. Where are the ‘ cotton lords” to day ? They* seem to have suddenly In come exvinet. The grem trade upon which they fi mushed is withering away. The change has come with startling suddenness, and no one yet seems to fully realise the imnt' use couseqnences widen it must, carry with it. However, no one ap peu;s to understand what lias brought the catastrophe to pass. "It eun only be at* input ary depression,’’ said a tnanufactuicr front O litmtu to me the •it her day; “the surplus g,„ ids will lie cleared ■ IT the marker, amt then trade witi revive again,” twaaaotrytn dis c,Milage him by giving hint rm->> i.s for holding a dificient "pinion. , Ine e ttou trade, in my opti hvi, is ! passing from England, not teiu.miari j ly, hut permanently, ami no one who is j j engage.! in it yet lval ues that fact. And what has produced the revolution? I lie great ami i-iiciii ad van* e made ju cotton manufacture on your side of the Atlantic, 1 need not tell you that hitherto England has held practically a monopoly in this branch ot industry. Bite rimplied the world, .But now, wherever a piece of Eugli*' • uton cun enter a market, another pie,™ of Am* r tean cotton Is to be seen aide by side with It—always as good, somethm-s hotter In quality, aud fotcnr in prw c. This lust fact was oue for winch 1 was prepared when I began to make in quiries into the subj'VT. But a Tact It is, and it is fatal to the recovery of English trade. a Thete is n common, ami yet useful, kind of cotton goods much use I in families where there are young chtl- j dren.
